How to avoid becoming a victim of email fraud
Apart from email scams there are a couple of other scams you need to watch out for on your computer.
One is where someone will phone you saying they are from Microsoft or Spark or something similar and that there is a problem with your computer. They will ask you to give them ‘remote access’ so they can fix the problem. ‘Remote access’ means they can use your computer from where they as if they were sitting at your computer.
Never give someone remote access. They will install software that enables them to copy your files and steal your passwords and personal information.
Another scam is where you are browsing the web and a warning pops up saying something like “Your computer is running too slow, click here to fix it”. It’s a scam. Do not click on it as it will install virus software on your computer.
